I’ve spent about 50% of my career in a private office, 45% work at home, and 5% working from a cubicle.
I was at my least productive in the cube, as I was distracted by my coworkers. I’ve been the most productive at home. I’d never work in a cube farm on a regular basis again, but wouldn’t be opposed to a private office.
Agree; with some exceptions where employees have to be onsite (stores, restaurants, banks) most businesses now realize they don’t need fancy office space at exalted prices. Most commercial office buildings are going the way of the dodo; the trend was coming but it was accelerated by Covid and it is not going back.
